#### At the Washing Station

Keg washing is performed in an inverted orientation. The keg spear points downward and connects to the washing head.

During the washing cycle, the Y‑type presser and keg platform descend to couple the keg spear with the washing head and open the keg spear port. Each media inlet and media valve introduce cleaning agents into the washing head for recirculating cleaning inside the keg.

Upon completion of the washing phase, the Y‑type presser and keg platform rise, and the washing process is finished.

#### At the Filling Station

The cleaned keg is placed at the filling station for inverted filling. The keg spear points downward and connects to the filling head.

During the filling cycle, the Y‑type presser and keg platform descend to couple the keg spear with the filling head. Before opening the keg spear port, the spear neck is sanitized with hot water / disinfectant, followed by CO₂ purging. The keg spear port is then opened, and CO₂ pre‑pressurization is carried out prior to metered filling. Once filling is completed, the keg port is closed. The spear neck is sanitized again with hot water / disinfectant and blow‑dried with CO₂.Filling process finished.

**Flowmeter Upgrade**

JKM has established in‑depth cooperation with E+H. Tailored to the characteristics of craft keg lines and miniaturized application scenarios, the PICOMAG compact flowmeter is custom‑integrated. This design greatly optimizes the equipment space layout, and delivers high‑precision flow monitoring and real‑time closed‑loop control for filling products. It significantly improves the repeatability of technological processes and consistency of filling results, and meets stringent hygiene and quality requirements for production.
